How to Disable Device Alias in Host Profile

Hello all,

Could someone tell me how this is acutally done, VMwares documentation seems to go in circle on this topic:

VMware KB: Host profile remediation fails with a device alias error

Apparently if you have hosts that are not identical but you still want to use Host Profiles to configure items on a new host you can disable the device alias but they never say how.  The closest thing I found is edit the host profile and remove sub profiles you don't require, but this isn't working.

Any help with this would be greatly appropriated,

Thanks again,

Figured this one out,

Just encase anyone else runs into this one:

You just need to remove the Device Alias Configuration in the host profile and this error will go away.  Again only do this if your hosts are not exactly the same.
